Ep 16 - Its Getting Hot in Here

The planet is warming up, and that has a lot of us panicking. But why isn't everyone? Dr. Lynette Reed offers a psychological perspective into why people care (or don't) about different causes, and shares ideas for how to inspire others to care about the environmental crisis. It can seem overwhelming to try to convince others to live more sustainably, but there is progress being made and room for hope!

Ep 14 - Oceans of Opportunity

Nothing fishy about it: the ocean plays a critical role in our planets ability to support life on land and in the water. Climate change is affecting the delicate balance that life on Earth depends on, and the consequences are mounting. Dr. David Trossman helps explain why oceans are so important and ways that we can work to undo the damage that has been done.

Composting is a great way to dispose of biodegradable waste instead of throwing it in a landfill, but it can seem like an overwhelming activity if you've never done it before.
